Hi,

I'm in the works of implementing capability support within musl. This we need to implement if you ask me : 

cap_init()
cap_free()
cap_dup()
cap_get_flag()
cap_set_flag()
cap_clear()
cap_get_proc()
cap_set_proc()

Things we should not implemented : 

cap_get_fd()
cap_get_file()
cap_set_fd()
cap_set_file()

This is due their extreme limited use case (see the glibc manual pages)

To ugly to even consider : 

cap_from_text()
cap_to_text()


Any thoughts on this ?


Regards,
